10 Responses to “More Email Dangers”

Sandy – Many thanks for your kind comment. I try to keep up with them but must confess I have been spending too much time on my other blog with more news breaking on a daily basis about missing Maddie and really must update this one.

I try to provide tools that I know work, having used them myself for some time or put them through their paces to ensure that they do what they are supposed to. Online safety is paramount and often overlooked.

Sandy – There are plenty of the “dearest one” emails, they have been around for years. They are known as the Nigerian 419 Scam, but no longer limited to Nigeria, as Russia, Ukraine and afew others have joined in. It only takes a few people to fall for it and pass on personal info then find their bank account cleared out, to make it lucrative business for the scammers.

Again, thanks for more good info. Can you explain the value of spam to the spammer? I’m thinking of those weird emails that look like they could be from real people. I use gmail, so I can see the first line of text, and it’s always some nutty junk asking “dearest one” to send cash to some dispossessed Third World prince or some conspiratorial “what if he finds out” kind of thing. Some invoke Jesus. What do these people get out of sending that sort of thing?
